Slow To Heal

Visible defect
Variation
Soothing effect
As my fingertips
Run over this formation
Through hills and dips
Passing pain
Now a conversation piece
These wash away with the rain
These
One day will
Cease
Internal rips
And tears
Shadowed
Stitched with care
Only to be shredded
Again
Slow to heal
If only it was let alone
And you wouldn't hammer
In the sin
Full of chagrin
Confidence blown
I'd rather
Show you my scars
My skin shattered
Then you discover my wounds
Ruined
Can't keep the seal
So slow to heal
